>>310604A good majority of men get thin before marriage then balloon up because they think they have a free ride secured, the datum you posted supports that. Once in a marriage the woman feels trapped due to various factors like social stigma, religious stigma, and expected financial insecurity. Like any abusive relationship it's difficult to find the motivation to break it off, and believe me, being with an obese man is abusive, even if he's not physically abusive it takes a mental toll.
I'm not saying it's not easier, that's true, it is easier to be a fat and even obese man than a woman. I'm arguing that nobody likes them. Everything you hate about men is amplified. Their bodily functions, their stench, their greed, ect.
